[EVO Shift 4G General] BiffTirkle:
i dodged a bullet last night with reflashing my rom with many thanks to rytesyde for his help with that.

so i went to backup my rom this morning and i came across this.

----------------------------------------------------

no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext.

generating md5 sum...

backup complete

----------------------------------------------------

that happens all the time with any sd card

after that i reboot the phone and it goes into preparing sd card and then this happens

"The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping....."

i take the card out, format it reload my data back onto the card, and put it back in the phone everything is fine unless i try to backup again.

that is with a sandisk 16GB card

i have the 2GB card that came with the phone and that seems to work fine.

i can only guess its the card. but i havent had a single problem with the 16 gig card, ever.

so what i have done is backed the phone onto my 2 gig card, and use my 16 gig as i normally would.

any ideas, suggestions. fixes?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
have you ever found out what the problem is with this? i have noticed that mine is not recognizing the sd-ext partition. i have formated my card with ubuntu, and even with amon-ra 1.7 on my G1. each time i try tou mount sd-ext, it says it's not found or some problem. i have even tried using the various varietis of clockwork for the Shift and even tried using clockwork on an original EVO. i have tried with the stovk 2gb as well as a class 2 8gb and a class 6 8gb.

Your sdcard is partitioned or no

[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
sd-ext is used for Apps2SD and this is not currently implemented on any ROMs for the Shift.

Not sure what the issues are with the OPs SD card but might want to buy a new one. I'm not sure the SD-ext is related
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
I think the recovery was just looking for a partitioned sdcard..ext4 is used by evervolv if I'm not wrong and if it isn't partitioned cwm will still check it..in short sdcard isn't broken

[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
i still cant figure out why CWM wont recognize the sd-ext part of my card. i have the newest flavor thats wimax friendly. i have tried placing the partition before and after the fat32 part. still no go. i have reformatted the entire card to fat32 and then tried parting it in CWM. it coed through the process as if it's formatting it and when i go back in to check, it's not there, ot it again doesnt recognize it. i have tried every combination i could come up with and still no beans.

eventually there will be other supported roms for the shift that could/would use the ext4 part. right now i'm running the cm6.1.1 flavor because it's not SENSE and is a fraction of the size of that monster ROM. i can deal with not having MMS.

i'm just curious if anyone else is having problems getting their device to recognize the sd-ext

IE go to mounts in CWM and click on mount sd-ext. mount or no mount?

partition a card with CWM and see if it creates an sd-ext part and if so, does it recognize it afterwards.

i'm about to try this: re-format the entire card to fat 32 in ubuntu, then try to reformat to ext4 and fat32 in CWM. i no CWM wont recognize the sd-ext afterwards, but im going to see in ubuntu if CWM created the ext4 part.

brb
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
alright here is a play by play...

1. deleted ext4 and fat 32 in ubuntu

2. placed the card in my EVO (not shift for now) and entered fastboot then recovery (CMW)

3. > advanced > partition sd card

4. chose: ext size - 1024M then swap size - 0M

5. "patitioning sd card... please wait..."

6. "done!"

7. > ***go back***

8. > mounts and storage

9. > mount /sdcard - mounted

10. > unmount /sdcard - unmounted

11. > mount /sd-ext - message

"E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

"Error mounting /sd-ext!"

12. remove card and connect to ubuntu

13. open gparted

14. mounted as fat32-6.45GB and ext3-976.76MB ~~~just now noticed that CWM made the sd-ext as ext3!!~~~

15. unmount ext3 then formatted to ext4

16. close gparted and remount drive - fat32-6.45GB and ext4-976.76

17. unmount drive and place back in EVO

18. entered fastboot then recovery

19. > mounts and storage

20. > mount /sdcard - mounted

21. > unmount /sdcard - unmounted

22. > mount /sd-ext - message

"E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

"Error mounting /sd-ext!"

23. ~scratches head~
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Ill play with it in a bit and see if I can figure something out..have you tried formatting it through cwm? And using cwm to setup the partitions

Sent from my HTC Knight using MikRom(again)
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Why are you partitioning the card with ext4? There is no apps2sd utilized for the Shift at this point.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
CWM is parting the card as ext3. i used ubuntu to change that to ext4. CWM doesnt recognize the ext3 or 4. it created the ext3 and doesnt even recognize it. i'm wondering if it has something to do with an incompatability with the evo and evoshift's hardware and the CWM's software design. a quirk or two. i was under the assumption that the evo shift was basicly the same as the G2, Desire Z, and the (rumored?) Merge.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
just realized you asked why... sorry. just because there isnt at this point, doesnt mean it could/would not be used later. i just noticed it wasnt working, so asked the question as to why. it seems as if it should work.
[G Tablet General] dwmcqueen:
Let's just say my headphone jack came loose and I fixed it, but the internal speakers don' seem to turn off when the headphones are plugged in.

Is there a way, via software, to turn off the internal speaker?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Bloodflame:
My Magic is having issues connecting to Wifi hotspots. I live in a 3 story house. There are 2 wireless modems in the house, on the first floor and the third floor. From my office on the second floor, I have no problems connecting to either hotspot with my laptop and Nexus One, with a fairly strong connection to each. But for some reason, the Magic will never connect. Half the time, it won't even detect the networks as visible. When they are visible, the signal strength is poor. The Magic will only connect when in the same rooms as the modems, and even then, the signal is only half good.

I have tried over a dozen different ROM's, various SPL's, radios, and kernels. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue.

I'm lost, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Sadly, I believe your on the right track with it being a hardware issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Bloodflame:
I was afraid of that :( At least I have my trusty Nexus - but it's always nice to have a backup..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
A random theme I was working on, More so for the ladies but to eaches own..

No confirmed name. Grape fizz was the misses suggestion. I re-worked the NeonGT port I did, basically an inverted NeonGT. There may be things I am missing or have not done yet.

I just want to put it out there and see if there is an interest for this and will try to update according to feedback.

For now it was meant to try and be minimally invasive, as to not break any other mods you may currently have.

As of now only tested on EB01!

Eb01 Grape fizz! 6 Lockscreen's (beta)- 03/19/2011

This is a patch that can be applied over 1.1 and will give you sbrissen's and/or TSM's latest 6 lock mod themed accordingly. This also includes the aosp music controls as well.

Since sbrissen is calling it beta, a beta it will be.. :D

Also resolved several mentioned issues along with some non-mentioned issues.

A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!

EB01 Grape fizz! 5 Lock - 1.1 - 03/06/2011

added JobManager.apk

reworked the font color scheme

remapped status bar pulldown (Notifications! banner is the clear button now)

removed transparency on Contacts.apk (remains in dialer)

Optional:

adrynalyne's remapped google voice dialer - http://bit.ly/dGXwpp

Popup menu rework - Patch-01 - http://bit.ly/gdqKF0 - 03/18/2011

EB01 Grape fizz! 5 Lock - 1.0 - 03/01/2011

Added Contacts.apk

cleaned up a bunch of images

more font color adjustments in the main framework

preview images below updated as well

This contains the full theme!

A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!

Known Bugs:

-----------

pulldown icon text turns white when activated

Themed files include:

app

---

Contacts.apk

DialerTabActivity.apk

DownloadProvider.apk

JobManager.apk

MediaProvider.apk

Settings.apk

framework

---------

android.policy.jar

services.jar

twframework.jar

framework-res.apk

twframework-res.apk

Credits/Thanks:

Jumba, re-worked his images

adrynalyne, for the stock roms and gv dialer

sbrissen, for the 5 lock screens, hide clock & am/pm mods

everyone else that makes it possible for us to even theme are phones

Beta Versions!

Grape Fizz 5 Lock - beta.03 - 02/28/2011

Beta 03 now contains sbrissen's 5 lock screen and clock mods! The list of files themed has been updated.

This should address the majority of the white text issues as well as the clock in the status bar. It is a rather system wide change though so it may change other things.

A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!

Grape Fizz - beta .01 - 02/27/2011

A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!

Very nice looking. There is a themed purple market floating around somewhere in the Droid X section. That would probably be a good addition.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] joshnichols189:
Not a fan of purple, but a slick looking theme nonetheless :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
im sure there are some pink/purple fans out there that will appreciate this :)...good work as always
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mkarps:
Keep up the good work!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] old&slow:
I'm not a purple guy myself (got your neon port on my phone this week:p) but my mom likes it. Nice work.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] FDro:
Justin beiber would be all over this.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] msjudyfoo:
I love it. Thank you~ It's so hard to find a girly theme. Haha. This one is the best one I've found so far! Just a couple requests if you don't mind: 1. The browser address bar: It's hard to see the address because it's black font on black background unless we select it. I was wondering if you can just change it to white background with dark purple font color? 2. The dial pad: when you punch in numbers, the numbers come out white. I was wondering if you can change it to the same color as the numbers on the dial pad or even the pink color that comes out with the contacts when you press the numbers?

Actually, playing around with my phone a bit more, I found that there are a lot of white fonts on white background (google navigation, quick search as mentioned) Is it possible to change all those white fonts?

Everything else seems to be great. Thank you once again!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Thank you and thanks for the market tip!

Me neither.. Just really bored and I figured there was a good chance that no one else was doing it.

Appreciate it nitsuj17! Right back at ya. ;)

:eek: lol, kidding! Thanks!

So your mom has a rooted phone too! Ha.. Thanks!

That is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.. :D

Ha, that was funny even on a proof read.. haha!

Thanks for pointing those out. I just went to town and changed so many things on a wim. Now I gotta back trace and tidy up. Just wanted to make sure there was enough of a market so to say to go much farther.

I definitely appreciate the feedback, I don't run this so it helps. I'm fine with your suggestions but option 2 was purple at one point and with transparency and a similar color background, it was slightly hard to read. But hey, I have no problem changing it. Thank you!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Also too, I have another version done with sbrissen's 5lock and hide clock options and a few more apk's as well. I will get it upped and linked soon.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] msjudyfoo:
Thank you! :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
I updated the OP to beta 03. It now contains sbrissen's work with the clock and lock screens. So a few more apk's getting purpilized... :p
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] msjudyfoo:
Everything but the phone dial number & the browser address bar is perfect (: Thanks a bunch :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMuffStuff:
Really Really Nice, I like this
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Well that's good to hear.. :D

Just to confirm the browser address bar is white now right?

So just need to check the black text and go purple and same for white text in dialer.

Thank you!

I also have Contacts.apk mostly done. Just need to finish up some 9's. As soon as I can get it done I'll post an update and probably no need for beta then.

Truthfully, I was kinda scared! I thought the ladies were gonna be brutal on me.. :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] msjudyfoo:
Actually, the address bar turns black with back font after the page loads. Put this theme on my mom's fascinate last night. She loves it too (: Thanks again!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Well msjudyfoo, the background should be white with black text. I could be confused with something I haven't released yet though.

Anyhow, I updated the OP and just went to version 1.0 so hopefully all is well.

The purple font increased, but I did not address the browser bar as of yet. Thanks again!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mbh87:
Really hope you do an inverted version.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Well that would just turn into neongt :D

To clear the air, some of you may remember me mentioning a fire n ice theme. Well, this phone brought on a whole lot of new hobbies for me so I finally got to rebuild my pc. Well improper backup just shredded a bunch of my files. :o

So I'm kinda have to start new with a bunch of things. lessen learned!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mbh87:
But it would be purple! lol, it looks awesome man, im gonna have to flash it later.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] msjudyfoo:
Thanks again for your hard work!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] b33zu:
Makes me thirsty :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Hey I'm running it until I can show the misses. Another "hey look what your phone could do if you just let me.." tease. lol A lot of purple!

Well it's my pleasure msjudyfoo. :)

Like for one of those old fashioned bottled soda's. Remember they used to deliver that stuff.. :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shaylih:
Thanks so much for this theme! Really enjoying it.

Can you possibly change the background on the contacts page? I have a purple background and since the contacts page is transparent, I can't see the contacts.

Also, sometimes the fading of the purple font makes it difficult to see on the white backgrounds, like the word 'notifications' in the notification bar.

Ohh one more thing, can the vm on the phone page be linked to google voice?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
The background is always linked to your wallpaper! If not try re-applying the wallpaper of your choice and check again. Although it may be hard to read with certain backgrounds.

Only solution really is to loose transparency, change the font colors or come up with a new wallpaper that works well with it. I'm happy to try anything!

I have an updated version that I have been working on here n there. I went though most of the font colors and cleaned up quite a few, but the transparency is still an issue with certain backgrounds.

About the phone, possibly! My phone is basically in recovery all the time so I don't use it as a standard phone. lol Is this what the remapped or cleaned up one from adrynalyne (sorry if spelling is off) is? Sorry but I don't get around much..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shaylih:
Somehow I missed this response.

The dialer from adrynlayne has the VM mapped to google voice. If yours could mimic that it would be great!

How could I loose the transparency in the contacts page? I just updated to sc 2.8, and the contacts page background is black, even though my purple background is unchanged. If yours could have the same functionality it would be perfect!

This really is my favorite theme so far and I'd love to make it my default.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imahighwayjunkie:
Not for me but my girlfriend sure likes it. Good job

sent from my badass fascinate. thanks devs!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shaylih:
Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I'd prefer no transparency in menus. For example the transparency in the menu for the gmail app makes the menu difficult to see. Also the grey font on purple background in the official twitter app is difficult to read.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
My wife is rockin this theme and loves it. Thanks notta.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
I can look into the dialer thing. It makes it much easier if it already exists. I believe black is the default background for contacts.

What! How can you not rock purple... lol

Appreciate it! :)

Oh gosh, I don't even have any of those apps on my phone so I never tested them. I updated the op with 1.1 and reworked most of the font colors, so I am hoping this may create more of a better balance in those menus. Not sure on twitter though!

How about we split the difference.. Go transparent contacts in the dialer and black background in main contacts. Again in new 1.1 in op.

Didn't work on mine yet, but it's good to hear Bigloof.. :)

So yeah, let me know if the fonts in 1.1 are better overall or whichever way they go?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
I can do exactly that! I'll be updating the OP momentarily with adrynalyne's remapped dialer..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Sister Amethyst:
I just spent my Sunday flashing my phone for the first time and chose this as my first ever theme. Lots of fun! Thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
That's awesome! Thanks!

Careful it can become addicting.. :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] HisSgtMajor:
I just want to say thanks for this theme! I'm loving it! Thanks for making it so you can use one of the 5 different locks screens too.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Not a problem.. :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] HisSgtMajor:
Ok just noticed something. When I'm wanting to add a widget to my screen and the window pops up listing my options, its showing up black font on a black background and the only way to know what you're picking is by the pics. Not too big of a deal but in other sub menus like on handcent, its that way too when changing the font of the conversations. So far that's the only issue I came across.

I'm obsessed with this theme.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Let me get a chance to run this and I'll see if I can't clean that up.. :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shaylih:
This is my favorite rom, but I ran into a big issue with it today. I was trying to manually enter an email into the stock gmail app and it was black font on black background in the address field and it would not allow me to see the address. I'm going to have to flash a new rom to send out my email and then reflash this one when I'm done.

Anyone else having this problem?

Also, not sure if it's isolated to my phone, but the VM button on the dialer doesn't work. It vibrates when I push it and then freezes and then I get a force close error.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] HisSgtMajor:
Ok thank you! :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Did you ever flash adrynalynes's gv dialer that I posted on the op. Typically the force close is due to not having the vvm app installed on your phone.

I apologise about the email and will look into that as well. One thing to consider is this theme is on the light side of the colors. If you flash a dark themed rom or darker theme, you may still be running that gmail app as I never included it.

I have a possible solution that I will be posting in the op shortly. I am in the process of rebuilding an engine, so I did not go deep into this. The quickest solution was to redo the popup menu's.

Hopefully this is still appealing! If this works out and is liked, I'll get on an update and incorporate..

Edit: This is this patch on the op!

Popup menu rework - Patch-01 - http://bit.ly/gdqKF0 - 03/18/2011
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] HisSgtMajor:
It didn't fix the submenus in handcent but the popup menus are easier to read now. I'm not too worried about it, its not a deal breaker for me. My friend saw this theme and became so jealous that she asked me to help her root her phone! Good luck of the engine and thanks for working on this in between! I'll keep my eyes open for future updates from you! :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shaylih:
Thanks! I totally missed the gv dialer. It works perfectly. I'm still having the gmail issue and I can't find a different version of the gapps to flash. I'm going to stick with it, I normally only email people in my contacts and those still come up. Love your work!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Thanks for the luck! All is well with the engine, just some minor tinkering..

Good luck with the phone if you haven't already done it.

Also updated op with 6 lock beta + and some cleanups!

The updated 6 lock beta should cover all of this for you!

Appreciate it all!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shaylih:
Thanks for the gmail fix! It's perfect. This is the best theme I've ever tried.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] msjudyfoo:
I can't find the 6th lock..

By the way, I still love this theme (:

Thanks for continuously working on it~~
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] HisSgtMajor:
Awesome! Heading to download!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
Good deal! Thanks.. :D

It's accessed through an app called LockScreen Settings within your app drawer.

Thank you as well! :D

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
what usually works for me is clearing the data in your contact storage app(settings>applications>manage applications>running>contacts storage>clear data). this will delete the contacts on your phone, then resynch them with the server..... if contacts do not come back right away, then it is something to do with the connection to the server and they will come back when the connection is restored. this works for me with Gmail not synching as well.
